some free advice. if the invitations are for your wedding remember, the more creative you get the more time it will consume, and, the more money it will cost you in stamps to send what may be a non-normal size envelope/invitation. i'm so glad i idn't design our invitations. it was one less headache to worry about. got someone else ot fuck with it.

I did use a script font, but in my defense it's Bickham, which is gorgeous, esp. when you take advantage of the open type features. I also found a way to mix it up with Fedra Serif small caps which kept it looking newer.

I wanted to letterpress or engrave them, but budget restrictions didn't allow...still looked pretty nice on French paper, though.

Haha, no...it's Southern. We both have large families, plus my dad is the pastor who will be officiating; so the whole church is pretty much invited (700 + people, tho we don't think every last soul will show up)...

Seriously giving thought to hiring a stand-in for the reception. I will be shaking the hand of so many people I've never met before. But hey, the gifts my man, the gifts.... :)
